As the summer draws to a close, it’s time for your September 2025 Reading Market Update, where I share everything you need to know about the latest property trends across RG1, RG2, RG30 and RG31.

You’ve probably heard it from friends, family, or colleagues: "I wish I’d done it differently."

Selling a house is rarely just a practical decision. It’s an emotional one, too. So, if you’re sitting on the idea of selling, but can’t seem to make that leap to ‘For Sale,’ you’re far from alone.

Feeling torn about moving home? Discover how to recognise when you're clinging to the past and how to plan your next chapter with confidence.

We’ve all heard the phrase "timing is everything." And when it comes to selling your home, this really does ring true...

Selling your home should be an exciting step forward.

If you’re thinking about selling your home but feel completely overwhelmed by the idea of starting, you’re in amongst hundreds, potentially thousands of other UK homeowners, feeling exactly the same way!

You’ve got a home to sell, but it’s not on the market yet. And honestly? That’s totally okay.

Are You Searching These Phrases? “My home isn’t selling, and I don’t know why.” “I feel stuck in a sole agency agreement.” “How do I get things moving again with my property sale?” If yes, it means you’re in what we call the “agent gap”, when your agent’s actions no longer match your goals...

It’s been a few weeks (maybe longer), and the buzz has faded. Viewings are few and far between. Updates are sparse. And your agent’s enthusiasm? Nowhere to be seen.

If you’re Googling any of these right now: “Why am I getting viewings but no offers?” “What does buyer feedback really mean?” “Is my house overpriced or just badly marketed?” You’re not alone, and you’re right to ask. Because when buyers are walking in, nodding politely… and then vanishing or worse giving 'naff' offers, something’s misaligned.

No new viewings. No clear updates. Just silence. You’re still on the market, but it’s starting to feel like you’re in limbo.
